About this ebook
Kate Tanner is getting more than she bargained for in this "woman disguised as a man" romance. Fleeing from her parents' killers, she disguises herself as Billy Ingram and leaves the big city Virginia life to work on a remote farm out in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota where the handsome, but aloof, Chad Walker hires her as a farmhand.
Between trying to prove that she can handle the more demanding farm chores and trying to fit in with the other farmhands, she has her work cut out for her. Then, one morning, Chad discovers she's a woman, so she quickly makes up the excuse that "Billy's" sister, Kate, decided to come by for a visit.
That's when things really get interesting. Lacy Montgomery is in love with "Billy" and nothing disgusts the woman. The farmhands are in love with Kate. She's in love with Chad who may or may not love her back. Her brother, the real Billy, shows up and she's forced to don on another female disguise to ward off Lacy altogether.
Among the laughter and constant costume changes, Kate might discover that the most unlikely place for love is the perfect place after all.

This book was enjoyable but needs some serious editing. The story was good so I kept reading. However, the language and some references were not believable for the time. People didn't use the word jerk. Cubic zirconia was not used for jewelry until 1930s. It was also hard to follow which character was speaking in some spots. Read at your own risk. It was an enjoyable story and fairly original.

Hard to keep reading. I didn't like the characters. The twists were too bad. The situations and reactions were off. The book was too long. I enjoyed many books from this author, but this one was a sad exception.

I'd never laughed so much while reading a romance book! Thoroughly enjoyed reading it -- a page turner novel. The conversations are witty and I like it that RAN gave Kate a strong character.
